Three Steps to Easy Meal Planning

Lesson #1 when doing a TV segment: Always know where your props are. Then you won’t come thisclose to knocking over your whiteboard on live television.

Lesson #2: Take honest stock of your artistic talents before attempting to draw an animal that will appear on previously mentioned live television.

That's supposed to be a llama. I wish I were kidding.

Lesson #3: Attempts to “fancy up” a prop are unnecessary and often confusing.

A vaguely wavy underline does not an elegant title make.

A vaguely wavy underline does not an elegant title make. Also, that’s supposed to be a grocery cart, not a drawing of the world’s most pointless Rubik’s cube.

At least this time I got a great picture.

Have a great day, dear reader.

P.S. I typically don’t tell friends and colleagues about my TV segments ahead of time for a number of reasons, including the fact that I don’t want to seem more of a narcissist than I already do. Occasionally this lack of information leads to hilarious results.

P.P.S. Such as the following:

Good to know I’m almost responsible for the great Lucille-treadmill disaster of 2015.

P.P.P.S. This information-withholding does not extend to Peter, of course. He might be alarmed by me sneaking out of the house at 6:30 a.m. with several large bags of pots and pans swinging from my shoulders.

P.P.P.P.S. Or amused. You never know with that guy.

Day 3 of working from home while caring for both t Day 3 of working from home while caring for both toddlers. Not much work getting done but at least the kids are having fun! It’s stressful, but I’m grateful for the privilege of being able to work from home when so many others currently juggle childcare, lost income, and higher risk of #coronavirus exposure. #covid_19 #socialdistancing #toddlermayhem
